Press Release: Julia Ford Top American Finisher at the World Junior Ski Championships

3/2/2010
Julia Ford, a Holderness resident and a graduate of the Holderness School, has returned to competing in the Nor-Am Cup alpine series following the World Junior Ski Championships in France last month.

Ford was the top American finisher in two events at the World Juniors: the downhill (22nd) and the super giant slalom (38th).

Before the world championships, Ford had posted a second in the super G and a third in the downhill at the Nor-Am Cup’s Lake Louise event, and second-place finishes in the super G and the combined at Panorama.

In December Ford made her World Cup debut at an event in Aspen. There she was the second-best American finisher in the slalom, outperforming both Lindsey Vonn and Julia Mancuso.

A member of the US Ski Team, she is currently in second place overall in the Nor-Am Cup standings.
